Wednesday 6/3
First shave with the new razor from tadamsde:
Boar Bristle
W&B 5/8 Barber's Notch
MB "Awakening" SS
Skin Bracer (it burnnnnsss)
I guess this is now the closest thing I have to a full wedge. I'm used to full hollows, and you can hear the blade scrape the scruff off. I got so accustomed to that sound that when I heard just the silent wipe of the (close-to) wedge go past, I figured it was dull. Nope! BBS. Thanks tadamsde!

Hot shower
Brush: EJ Best Badger
Soap: Proraso
Strop: Tony Miller Heirloom tri-strop
Razor: Mastro Livi: Regrind 6/8
I was a bit rushed this morning, so I ended up with two small nicks
and not a complete BBS. Still, the shave was better then what I get
using any other shaving tool than the straight razor, including my dusty Vision 2000 with Feather blades.
